SCOPING REVIEW PROTOCOL ON DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY AND MOBILE APPLICATIONS IN SUPPORTING WOMEN’S MENTAL HEALTH

It is proposed to investigate the use and development of digital technologies and mobile applications aimed at supporting mental health care for women. The study seeks to identify the impacts of these tools on women’s daily lives and to assess their potential to expand access to mental health care. Which digital technologies and mobile applications have been used or developed for women’s mental health care, and what are their impacts and contributions toward expanding access to such care? This scoping review, as proposed by Mun et al. (2022), will be conducted based on the Joanna Briggs Institute protocol, following the guidelines of the Manual for Evidence Synthesis (Peters et al., 2020a). It will also adhere to the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses – Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) (Tricco et al., 2018). The protocol will be prospectively registered on the Open Science Framework (OSF) platform.
